Imagine getting a government "Happy Harvest Box" from Trump

[deanrd]

Very nutritious. They can learn to cook. Throw in a couple of recipes.

Flour, powdered milk, a pinch of salt and water. That's Indian fry bread. Very very good.

Did the poor ever get chefs to cook for them? For the very old and disabled, they still have meals on wheels.

Wow, sounds really nutritious. And you don't use baking powder? What do you cook it in? Grease?

The best fry bread is fried in lard, which is usually included in government staples. Fry bread is incredibly good. I make it. Not only that, but I have actually been known to go to the local grocery store in Los Angeles and but Spam, right off the shelf. Right there, where anyone can buy it. I put it in macaroni and cheese or scrambled eggs. Did you know that powdered eggs make great scrambled eggs? You can't tell the difference.

Screaming that actual FOOD will be provided to people who have already proven that they cannot make food decisions that will feed them just is not going to slice any bread with those who know better.

Taking EBT away from people like this

'Beach bum' on food stamps goes viral

give him actual food instead.

He's not getting as much as you think.
He ate lobster rolls that were on sale. He says he eats fish and rice and a piece of fruit. He's homeless.

Fox made this some incredibly big story. But the statistics tell a different story.

You may have a few people like this guy who gets 50 dollars a week in food stamps. But there are people who are really struggling out there. People who the GOP wishes would just go away or die. Ironic is that most of them are Republican.

The myth of the right's food stamp king

Food stamp disbursements kept an estimated 4 million people above the poverty line in 2012, according to a Census report released last week. Looking at households which received SNAP funds in 2011, the USDA found [PDF] that nearly half of those households included children, and a little over one-fifth included disabled, non-elderly people.

As for the “fraud and abuse” so often denounced by Republican legislators, there is little evidence that it has a statistically significant effect on the program. Between 2009 and 2011, only 1.3% of food stamps were illegally trafficked, according to the USDA’s own research [PDF]. Such trafficking is often done more out of desperation and necessity than avarice, according to Pimpare.

While that advance cash may be spent on things like servicing a drug addiction, “it’s much more typically families living right on the edge, who need to buy things like diapers, which you cannot buy with food stamps,” said Pimpare. In other words, lack of money for non-edible necessities is the cause, not overly generous SNAP disbursements.

Some people may cheat, but most are poor families who need the help. Republicans are some really mean people.

[BulletProof]

What about people who don't know how to cook?
What about people with two or three jobs taking care of kids and have no time to cook?
What about frail and old seniors?
What about the disabled?

People who don't know how to cook can eat the food raw.

Why would people with two or three jobs need free food and when would they find time to make a bunch of bastard children?

Yeah, now the disabled and the old don't need to figure out a way to the store, because the food come to them.

Happy Harvest! Sounds so fun doesn't it?



A box full of yummy and good food. It's like a fantasy.

Then reality sets in. What's likely to be in the box:

Rice
Beans
Flour
Powdered milk
Powdered eggs
Canned meat (like Spam)
Creamed corn
Oats
Sugar
Salt

maybe:

Canned fruit
Canned vegetables
Dried fruit

Try making nutritious and delicious meals out of that stuff.

What about frail and old seniors?
What about the disabled?
What about the homeless?
What about those with no refrigerator or cooking facilities?

And you know, whoever gets the contracts are going to squeeze every cent they can out of it.

But it sounds so, well, so "Happy!"

HAPPY HARVEST! ​

maybe it will motivate them to get off government assistance.

Republicans? Most on food stamps have a job, many have two. You just can't support a family on "trickle down".

Then improve yourself and get a better job.

I don’t know how to cook, but my smart phone helps me out there. Now as far as nutrition gos, I’ll bet the nutritional value of one of them blue box things beats the token negros wife’s school lunch . As far as those with no place to cook they either A, go to a homeless shelter and eat, or if they are In prision they don’t need cooking facilities.

No matter how liberals want to slice this baloney, giving food to people doesn't hurt them.

 

[deanrd]

No matter how liberals want to slice this baloney, giving food to people doesn't hurt them.

Depends on the food.

Depends if the food needs to be cooked.

Depends if they have a place to cook.

Depends if they have a place to live.

Now take those depends off your head. They aren't "new".
